Seasonal temperature variation influences climate suitability for dengue, chikungunya, and Zika transmission

J. H. Huber, M. L. Childs, J. M. Caldwell, E. A. Mordecai

This study develops a dynamic transmission model to examine how seasonal temperature variation affects dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus epidemics, finding that intermediate temperatures produce the largest epidemics.
